Repository Policy

Educaniora encourages authors to distribute their manuscripts electronically to maximize the visibility and impact of their research. This policy supports the early and wide dissemination of knowledge, fostering academic collaboration and increasing the accessibility of research findings.

Pre-Submission Distribution

Educaniora allows and encourages authors to share their manuscripts in institutional repositories, on personal websites, and through other electronic platforms prior to and during the submission process. This early dissemination offers several benefits:

• Productive Exchanges: Early sharing enables authors to receive feedback from the academic community, improving the quality of the manuscript before formal peer review.
• Increased Visibility: By making their work accessible early, authors can reach a broader audience, enhancing the manuscript's exposure.
• Greater Citations: Manuscripts shared early are more likely to be cited, as they become known to the academic community before official publication.

Post-Acceptance Distribution

Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication in Educaniora, authors are encouraged to continue sharing their work to maximize its reach and impact. The following guidelines apply:

• Educaniora Website: The final version of the manuscript will be available on the Educaniora website, ensuring open access to the published work.
• Institutional Repositories: Authors are permitted to deposit the final published version of their manuscript in institutional repositories, supporting long-term preservation and accessibility.
• Personal Websites: Authors may also share the final published version on their personal websites, ensuring broader access to their work.

Acknowledgment of Original Source

When distributing the manuscript post-acceptance, authors must acknowledge the original source of publication in Educaniora. This includes:

• Providing a full citation of the published article, including the journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, and DOI (if available).
• Including a link to the published version on the Educaniora website, where applicable.
